Sweet 16

Yup, 16 years ago my Conner decided....finally..... to be born. He's been the sweetest, most caring, kindest and cutest boy. I love when I have parents of his friends tell me what a good boy he is. I agree :) For his 16th I had a bunch of his friends come down to Lazer Assault, and we surprised him. He had a good day.

Cake!!! When we gonna eat this cake????!!!!! The bestest part, huh baby boy.

A few quilts I've done

This is the very first quilt I started. It's a block of the month, and I'm pretty darn proud of it.

My goal is to have a different quilt each month. The only problem is.... I really like fall, and Halloween. So I have 2 Halloween quilts right now, and one Fall, with fabric for several others. Hmmmmm. I also like snowmen, and snowflakes.....



I also really like to do throw size quilts. I would go nutso making big ones. Not nearly enough patience, and they are just so hard to maneuver.














I've done a bright one for Brianna, and a crazy one for Conner. I'm sure they will get more down the road. Conner uses his every night. He loves to sleep cold, then snuggle under a bunch of quilts. Brianna uses hers on her bed, but it's more decorative I think.

For the rag quilt, I embroidered the blocks, then put it all together. I'm working on another snowman one, that has a ton of embroidery. My goal is to have it done by Christmas 2011. We'll see......

The red and white star one is actually one I did at a quilt retreat. This quilt made me realize my machine is a "toy" machine, because it DID not like all the seams at these points!!

Some of these are for friends that retired, or had babies, or for a Christmas present.

Yes, another Halloween one. I told you.... I really really like Halloween! And the witches undies fabric in this is the best. Makes the whole quilt!

And this is a cute baby one. I did one in pinks and browns too, but forgot to take a pic. And maybe, just maybe, the baby this was meant for will actually get it before his 1st bday...... maybe.

Elementary Ballroom

This year Brianna participated in the Elementary Ballroom program. She was in Level 1. She and her partner Richard were the overall couple. That meant that they knew all the dances well,and would draw a dance out of a hat and perform it. Grovecrest actually won the best overall points at one comp. They were amazing!

Brianna and Kyli. Just before one of the comps. The colored flower in the hair let us know what team they are on. The boys numbers match the flower color.

Yup, Brianna got a Hi Gold ribbon. She did the chacha, foxtrot, meringues and the swing. The did soooooo good on all of them!
